Creates a server group or adds servers to or removes servers from a server group.

A server can belong only to one server group. If you call the CreateOrUpdateAssetGroup operation and the server specified in request parameters belongs to Server Group A, the server is removed from Server Group A and then added to the newly created or specified server group after the call is complete.
